Online & On-Air: Welcome To the Future

Feb 24, 2013

This is the first issue of Publishers Weekly with augmented reality cooked into it. How’s it work? It’s easy, really: just download the Layar app for your iOS or Android device, and use it to scan the image of the magazine page below. You’ll see. Be sure to also scan this week’s cover for access to a bonus video, a book excerpt, and to connect with American Girl online. To learn more about Layar and augmented reality, read our article here, and keep your eye out for Layar-enabled pages in future issues of PW.
